CASE °i the REV. JAMES TURNBULL GLASGOW. Uri Wednesday last, the Relief Presbytery came to decision on the case which has for such a length Of time engaged the attention of their Court, affecting-the moral, and inmisteriel character of the Rev. James Turnbull, Cal ton. . The case has excited great interest; the church ih which the proceedings were held has been constantly crowded. Our readers may depend on the correctness of the following account :-- A petition and complaint came up from the Elders of the Relief Church, Calton, containing a statement of reports Unfavourable_ to Mr. Turnbull, and praying that the -Presbytery should investigate them also complain ing of theunpresbyterian manner in which he had treated thernielves, and requesting redress. The petition was. received. The Elders when asked refused to libel. A Corn mittee of the Presbyter's own number Was then appointed to precognosce the case, and serve Mr. Turnbull with a libel, should they find cause. Cause was found. The li bel contained four counts. Ist. That on the night of the 21st; or morning of the 22d of July last, Mr. T. appeared on several of the. streets of ' Glasgow and Calton in a state of intoxication. 2d.. That on the same evening he held indecent communication with females, haiing the appearance of ' prostitutes. 3d. That, contrary to the laws of the Redeemer's kingdom, he had commenced a prosecution 'in the: Sheriff's Court against one of the inemberi of his church, for defamation of character, without having first applied for redress to the Ecclesiastical Courts. 4th. That he had in various ways abused the members of hitt' Session. Mr. Turnbull, when admonished to confess the truth, acknowledged the fact charged in count 3d, but deniedits guilt. Confessed the facts of count 4th and. professed repentance ;* 'but denied both the facts and guilt of' counts Ist and 2d. A great multitude of wit nesses, both in proof and exculpation, were examined. It is impossible an examination could be More minute and trying: After it was dosed, Mr. T. was given a week to prepare his defence. "rhe corrunittee for the prosecution, and Mr. Turnbull, in his defence, with commissioners from the Calton Church, were then heard at full length. The Court then resolved theMselves into a CoMmittee for confidential conversation, and retired to the session-house. On returning to the church, Mr. Thomas, of Hutcheson town, made a motion to the following effect :—That the Court find count Ist not proven ; on count 2d, that Mr. Turnbull is not proved guilty of having had adulterous con nection with prostitutes, but that he has been guilty of improper converse with them ; on count 3d, that he has violated the law of Christ, and as member of the Relief Synod, must give up his prosecution, at civil law, against the member of Calton church; on the 4th, that he has been guilty of tyranieal .abuse to his elders, although hi,i conduct was accempanied with ' Some alleviating circinve; stances. That such being the case, Mr. Turnbull be sus pended from his office next Sabbath, or longer if lie con fess not ; and give evidence of repentance; but should he so confess and show penitence, that lie be admitted to public rebuke before his own congregation on the afternoon of Sahhath first, and afterwards resume his place and office. Against this dedsion several Members entered their dissent chiefly on -the principle that they were not satisfied With Mr. appearance of contrition. At the close of the presbytery, as the spectators were retiring; *Milian, the principal witness for the prosecu tion, who had heen imprudently present, being recognised, was surrounded at the foot of Campbell-street. The Rev. Mr. Brodie passing at the time, and suspecting the cause of the uproar, from hearing a female voice exclaiming, " Oh, you perjured rascal," he made his way through the crowd, and assisted him in getting into an adjoining shop. From that, as the crowd was increasing, and some indivi duals apparently contemplating violence to IVPMillan's peoon, with the aid of another Gentleman, Mr. Brodie, got trieauveyed to his own house, till some Police officers, for w h o m lie sent, should arrive, ANTIPATIUMA ANCIENT AM) MODERN Henry W. of Vraoce could not stay in the room where there was a . cat, though so immoderately fond of dogs, that the Duke of Sully says, on his first audience, he had a basket full of young' puppies, suspended by a Week ritrmg from his neck, and was playing with them all the time of the conference. The Duke d'Epenon would faint at the sight of it leveret. Marshal d'Albert Could not en dure a wild boar, nor a sucking pig. illidaslas, King of Poland, was distracted at the sight of tipples. Nor could Erasmus overt smell' that without being greatly agitated. s ca liger trembled at the sight of water eresses. Tycho feltßrulre his limbs sink under hint when he met either a bare or, a fox. Bacon swooned at the (whine of the moon; and Boyle fell into convulsions on hearing the sound• of water drawn from a cock. ' James I. could not endure the sight of a drawn sword; and Sir Kenehrt Digby tells us, " that the King's band - shook so muelt in knighting film, that he Would have rim the point of the sword into his eye if the Duke of Buckingham had not directed it to him shoulder." La Motte de Vayer could not endure music, but delighted in thunder. An Englishman, in the seven te'.enth century, was near expiring, whenever the fifty thin: chapter of Isaiah was read to him ; and a Spaniard, e m it Ore same period, fell into a syncope when he heard the word /one ( w ool) mentiotied, though his coat wits made of the't substatice.--Liverpoot 'fa these A ntipathies" we will just beg leave to add a few of a more uiodern, but equally incurable character.

A—Live/rood Mum v SURREY SESSIONS. KINGSTON, Tutsu4Y, Oar. 11. The Michaelmas Quarter Sessions commenced here this morning, before the Chairman (B. BARNARD, Eeq.) and a Bench of Magistrates. LAND-TAX ASSUSSAIENTS. The returns of these assessments from several districts were presented, and it was stated that some of them were very,imperfect. On this a discussion arose as to the course that should be pursued by the Court. It was at length determined, that the returns should be referred to a Com mittee, who were to report on the adjournment day whether they were incorrect, and what steps ought to be taken in consequence. JURY RETURN'S. The returns under the new Jury Act of the persons qualified to serve as jurors were handed in. The Borough of Guildford made no return, claiming to he exempt by their charter from serving on any Juries out of that borou h . They certified their charter. The parish of 'I hursley, in the hundred of Godulming, also claimed to be exempt from serving on Juries, in con sequence of being tenants " on ancient demesne." The Court gave no decision on the claims, but received the names of the claimants. RVIJOIOUS INSTRUCTION IN PR1102.18. The animal report of the Chaplain to the county gaol (the Reverend Mr. Mann) was brought up and read. It expressed regret that there had not been as much im provement in the condition of the prisoners in Horsemon ger-lane gaol, as far as respected their education, as he had reason to expect from the experience tried in the last year. Mr. TIRIS . COR regretted to hear such an account of the state of the county gaol, which was somewhat inconsistent with that sent by the same Reverend Gentleman last year. He would now move, that Mr. Mann's report be referred to the 'visiting Magistrates, that they might re port as to the cause of the decline noticed in the chap lain's reporL—Mr. IL JACKSON seconded the motion. Sir T. TURTON repeated, that the motion could have no good result. Mr. 13RiscoF, was willing to withdraw the motion, if the seconder consented. Mr. R. JACKSON said, that as the visiting Magistrates could be said to be necessarily acquainted with this report he would take the sense of the court on the motion for re ferring it to them. : Mr. H. SUMNER, thought the motion, as it was now preferred, implied a censure on the chaplain ; and he would therefore oppose it; because he was convinced no man de served better of his country than did that Rev. Gentleman. Mr. PAILMEE thought that it would save time to refer to the act of Parliament, in which it would appear, that the visiting magistrates had the power to make the necessary inquiries► without any special reference such as the motion proposed. Mr. DENISON said he could not give a silent vote on this occasion, lest his silence should be construed into an intention of casting any imputation on the Rev. Chaplain, than Whom he would maintain, no man was more active or zealous in the discharge of his important functions. The question was then put to the vote, and the motion was lost by 10 to 17. Reports from the other prisons in the county were then read. That from Brixton stated, that considerable improve ment had taken place in, consequence of the system of in strpeting the prisoners in reading and writing. The report from Guildford also spoke favourably of the *fleet of education among the prisoners, as did also that from Kingston. COUNTY RATE. Mr. Sust.moßeE (the County Treasurer) having given in his account of the county expenses of the last, and his esiiessie of , those of the current quartos, stated, that in consequence of the heavy payment of 5,000 t which was to be made on account of the 'Muses of Correction, and the other expenses of the Epiphany quarter, it. would be nerlessury that the county ruto should be raised from a thi+epsinny to a fourpenuy ruto. The fourpenny rate was then ordered. NNW ASSESSMENT OF THE COUNTY KATE. Mr. DENISON presented a memorial from the inhabitants of the parish of Christchurch, lilackfriars-road, complain ing. that they were assessed more than their fair proportion of the county rate.—The motion was then put and carried. xxessites OF WITNESSES ON.' CRIMINAL reosecussows. Mr. LAwsosi (the Clerk of the Peace) read this report of a committee, to which was referred an Act of last Sess rion;authorising magistrates in Quarter Sessions to fix the compensation to be paid to witnesses summoned under re cagnizances to give evidence in criminal prosecutions. The committee recommended that.where witnesses came before magistrates to give depositions respecting felonies, the magistrates should have the power to give as compensation for lose of time, a sum not exceeding 2s. Gd. per day, and in eases where the parties had to come a distance of more than four miles, a further sum of 3d. per mile, going and returning. In cases where witnesses had to attend trials at Assizes, the sum not exceeding 4s. Gd. per day, and 2s. Gd. additional for every night they were detained out, with the additional :4. per mile going and returning, where the parties had to tourney more than four miles; and where they had to attend Sessions at Newington, a sum not exceeding 3s. W. per day and 2s. Gd. per night, and the same allowance per mile for distances exceeding four miles. They also recommend that witnesses bound to attend on more than one trial in the same day and place. should be allowed expences only for one trial ; and they further recommended that magistrates should bind over to attend only such witnesses as were absolutely necessary to further the ends of justice. Mr. PAIXIIEIt (on the part of Sir T. Turton) who hid left the Court, postponed the motion, of which notice had been given by Mr. postponed for the appolotanent !of a Com mittee to consider the best mode of expediting the business of the county by more frequent sessions under the Act (59 Geo. 111. tap. 28.) The cause of the postponement to next sessions was Mr. Edgell's illness, of which a me dial certificate was produced. VAUZHALL GARDENS. The Clerk of the Peace read a memorial, very nume rously signed, from the inhabitants of Kennington and its vicinity. -At the head of the list.stood Yr. Cannon; but, he observed, it would occupy too much time to read all the names. The memorial set forth, that of late years, great inconvenience had arisen to the inhabitants of that neighbourhood from the cronrds of disorderly persons who assembled outside on the nights the gardens were Ipepett These persons were guilty of the greatest dis usterti, and often of gross indecencies, and they assembled n such crowds as to be beyond the controul of the police. The memorial went on to state, that the fire-works, which might be seen from the open road, were the great cause of attraction to those crowds, which, in addition to other evils, mused the public-houses to be kept open in the neighbourhood at tin hours of the night; that there MS great danger from the manlier in which rockets and other fire-works were scattered about, and that many fami li" were awoke at unseasonable hours by the hied and disagreeable noises produced by the explosions of the fire works • that the ascent on the rope and the ascent in bal loons (Which last had been introduced last season) bed greatly rontributed to increase the crowds, and to keep them assembled to a late hour. few s 4 ft" a few I from Mr. SenivENt, who Insisteu on the necessity of some restriction to the practices mentioned Oona in the the question was ordered to stand over to this day. euutensivier or TEIALES SY THE snuatn-witret.

MESSINA, SEPT. 20.--Lord Cochrane arrived here again on Sunday morning from Malta, after an absence of a week : he brought a regular bill of health, but they refused to admit him to pratique ; they also ordered Mr. llesketh, one of his Lordship's Officers, who was residing on shore, to depart from his'Ma jesty's dominimr, al di qua ed al di la del, faro, in stanlentemente : in consequence, he embarked imme diately. For some reason or other, the Government refused to give a new bill of health, or to return the old one ; and it was evening betbre Mr. Barker, the Consul, made them give the Malta one back again.— H i is Lordship then mmediately pat to sea (about six o'clock P. NO to the northward. It is sal , in the night he repassed to the southward. On Sunday, at noon, in the very midst of the row, the Neapolitan ship Vesuvius came in from Naples, and it was said with express orders to seize Lord CoChrane and his vessel. They did not, however, offer to molest him, though all the wise men went aboard to consult. 1 doubt whether they had such orders ; and if they had, if they would have ventured to have committed such an outrage on a Briti s h vesse l and. on British subjects. The 74 (Neapolitan) sailed on Monday to the south ward. .This affair has caused a great deal of move ment amongst the authorities ; some of them, in their wisdom, very charitably proposed to sink the ship and all hands (Lord Cochrane ts m a small yacht), as the easiest way of getting rid of them. They have got an idea that his Lordship is obnoxious to the English Government (because he fights in the cause of liberty), and that, therefore, whatever insult they may offer him will not be resented. I hope they will soon have ret.• son to repent what th ey have done. The Luogote nente is expected he re every h our ; `for what purp ose no one can conjecture.

ODESSA, SEPT. 25.—The last , accounts from the fron- iers of Persia leave no doubt of the irruption into our . ter- ritory having been made by order of 'reit Aly Schah him self. It is reported that he was in person with the army which has entered Georgia. Many persons think that this unexpected declaration of war was advised by the Divan, as soon as it received news of the conspiracy at St. Pe tersburgh, and in the army of the South, for almost all the Turks have even now the simplicity to believe that the Russian empire is in the greatest disorder, and in a state of dissolution. Persia will pay dearly for this breach of faith, and those who have advised so hazardous a step will learn that the sons of Russia have not degenerated, and that the empire, stronger than ever in their support, will baffle the perfidious designs of its enemies. In the letters lately received from Constantinople, dated Sept. 20, we find the very improbable news that Lord Cochrane has written to the Huitselim of Smyrna, de manding a contribution of 300,000 piastres, and threaten ing, in case of refusal, to burn the city. The English Charge d'Allkires has recalled all the English Officers who were with Abbas Mirza. None of them have followed him. Prince Menzikoff has arrived at Tiflis, with all the per sons attached to his embassy. The Duke of Bordeaux was committed to the care of his - Governor, the Duke de Reviere, this day. The King, the Dauphin and Dauphiness, Madame, the Princes and Princesses of the Blood, assembled in the Hall of the Throne. The Grand Officers of the kingdom were at their respective posts. The Duke of Bordeaux, conducted by the Viscountess de Gonteaux, was led up to his Majesty ; his clothes were taken off to show that the august infant was not afflicted with any infirmity. After they had been put on again, his Royal Highness was delivered into the hands of his Governor. His Majesty, to prove to Madame de Gonteaux, his Royal satisfaction for the care bestowed by her on the Royal Infant in her quality of Governess of the children of France, conferred on her the title of Duchess, by a letter written by his own band. The heslth of Talma is in a very precarious state. This was not the only time that the Archbishop of Paris visited Talma, as the different Journals have reported, but three times a-day, from the 10th inst. He was ac companied each day by one of his grand vicars. On the 14th he was accompanied by the cure of Notre Dame de Loretto. After the most pressing instances, since the in valid had been aware of his visit and object, the Arch bishop had the mortification of retiring without having been admitted before him. They say, that among his last injunctions, Talma pressed a wish that his remains be not presented before the church. It was also said yesterday that Talma had his children brought up in the Protestant religion. It is said, in a private letter from Mayence, inserted in a German Paper, published at Paris, and it is repeated in the Journal des ebais that the Grand Duke, Elector of Hesse, having declared to the hereditary Prince, his son, "that he entertained a project of divorce from his spouse, a Princess of Prussia, and of marrying a woman of inferior rank, with whom he had, they say, ,some liasons for a long time, there was,. between the father and son, a vio lent dispute ; in consequence of which the former drew his sword, and would have struck his son-if he had not taken flight. Since this event, the Hereditary Prince has been pursued by the guards of the Grand Duke, but he had the good luck of escaping to Prussia, and of the protection-of his uncle. This affair caused the liveliest sensations in Germany. (From the Journal de Paris of Saturday.) VIENNA, OCT. s. —(Private letter.)--A report is this moment spread among the merchants, that letters from Constantinople of the 15th, 16th, and 18th September, which have been received by an extraordinary conveyance, announce that the 'Porte has accepted but a very few of the articles of the Russian ultimatum, which, as we have already learned, consists of 82 points. It is added, that the Reis - Effendi has made on this subject a communication of • the highest importance to M. de•-Minziacky, who inane ! . diately sent off couriers with despatches to Count Nesse]. rode, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and to the Russian Commissioners at Akermann. (From the Constitutionnel.) . The following letter, dated the 4th of October, we hare just received from Anemia :—" The lonian brig, the Pegasus, of 300 tons, mounted with 12 pieces of cannon, has just set sail for Nauplia. The vessel has a large cargo of provisions ' sent out by the Central Committee of P a ris to the Greeks. The cargo is addressed to the care of Dr. Badly, and, in his absence, to the Commandant of Nauplia. M. Spirit Vitalis, the proprietor of the vessel, accompanies this supply to the place of its destination. A Bavarian Colonel and sixteen officers of different ranks, belonging to the same country, have set'out in the same vessel; they have at their disposal 100,000 francs. They are at anchor at Corfu, where they will remain for two days, and about the same time at Zuntc. The Colonel has letters from his Sovereign addressed to the Lord High Commissioner of the Seven Islands, to the Governor of ',Ante, and to the Greek Government. M. Vitalis refused to accept any bther remuneration for the transport of these supplies than what was barely sufficient to pay the master and crew of the vessel, so that two-fifths at least of the usual expense of freight will be saved. He is to return immediately to Ancona, to convey a similar supply to the Greeks, on the same conditions. The brave Col. Bourbaki is daily ex pected in Greece ; he was born in Cephalonia, and has been naturalised in France. This brave Officer, so distin guished for'his meritorious services, left France, with two of his brothers to take the command of some of the newly organised troops. His brother-in-law, Count Metexas, Ex-Minister of war to the Greek Government, anxiously awaits his arrival. An officer of this character is fit for any enterprise, and most undoubtedly will succeed. The Journal du Commerce, of Lyons, contains the fol lowing;--" The refusal to admit Christian burial is the order of the day here. A married woman, whose marriage had ;been consecrated by a cl erg y man properly qualified, died lately at Ause. This woman refused to have her mar riage blessed again, as she believed, in the simplicity of her heart, that the Almighty had already received her vows ,-,suo matter what the religious and political ()Pinions of the clergyman who married her were. M. le Cure d'Ause thought otherwise, and, to punish the obstinacy of the woman, he excluded her front the Sacraments; and'when she died he refused to let her be buried. The Mayor, a Magistrate, endowed with more courage than the rest of his colleagues, assisted himself at the interment, with his suite. When the procession, followed by almost all the inhabi tants of the district, came near the burial place, they per ceived that a grave was dug by order of the Cure in ground which had not been consecrated. However, the Mayor ordered another grave to be opened in the consecrated ground, and he also placed a the Cure.

We received the French Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile dated Monday, but their contents are unusually destitute of political interest. The Etoile contains the Russian declaration of war against Persia, which we gave yesterday. An article from Odessa says that the Persian irruption into Russia was urged by the Divan, but that the aggressors will pay dearly for their temerity. An idle story is told at , Constantinople that Lord COCHRANE had written to the Buitselim of Smyrna, demanding a contribution of 300,000 piastres, and threatening, in case of refusal, to burn the city. It appears that « young Astyanax, the hope of France," has been emancipated from the lullabies of the nursery, and handed over to the care of his future pre ceptors, who are to make him, according to the poetical climax of the Journal des Debats—‘ , a man—a Frenchman—a Bourbon—a King !" and it may be— e blockhead. The health of TA LHA seems to be declining to its last stage. The Archbishop of PARIS has been unre mitting in his visits, but the Actor is resolved to die without his help, and the Prelate has onl y the consols ion of expressing his mortification at such ungracious reception. By accounts from Vienna it would appear that the PORTE had accepted only the most delectable articles of Russian ultimatum, and rejected those most standard t so o difficult of digestion. But this ulti ma tum has beo lne in arswill dish be long,fund that it begins appetites of even the believers. Ea another egins column.tolall upon the ran—ort Papers to the 12th instant have hi en I:re ceived this morning. They contain an Order of the Day, issued by General YERNIALOFF to his army, 01 the aggression of the Persians. This document im putes, as a matter of course, all the blame to the Per sians ; and the General speaks to his myrmidons in th e usual martial strain of unbounded praise for what they have done, and incites them on to fresh glory by g glowing promise of brilliant achievements, and 41 more honoured laurels. A laudable Society has been lately formed at Russe l ‘ dorff, under the sanction of the KING, for the ptor ge of ameli ora ti ng th e con dition of Westphalian prisoners with respect to the cultivation of their morals while prison, and after their restoration to liberty. Pu t we fear that it will happen, in ninety-nine cases out of e f hundred, with prisoners branded with the i g nominy ° a gaol, as with birds in a cage—they hav e been toed so much as never to be able again to m in g le With the free inhabitants of the air, who shun them with tn i stinctive aversion—and the liberated capt ive of g3.°11 may haunt the scenes of his former li fe, but he we from illy find the countenance of society averted d from gui lt, sence, and his character, though exoner ate still tarnished with suspicion. spe „ ct l in l g ate t l h y e f o r f om the thPeers line ian o s f ..,;-- h '. e . returnedihvuilin qi re. 30.
